   Rising  percentage of the votes in a key area of Toronto . . .  and   
   holding their numbers in Quebec?   
      
   Yeah, that's a peek into the future that Mulcair is very pleased about.

   No NDP wins, but Mulcair happy with party’s showing in byelections   
      
   OTTAWA — The NDP — the only major federal party that failed to pick up   
   seats in Monday’s four byelections — is still riding the wave of the   
   orange crush, party Leader Thomas Mulcair told reporters outside the   
   House of Commons on Tuesday.   
      
   Mulcair stressed that the NDP saw its “best result ever” in the   
   traditional Liberal riding of Toronto Centre, where his “star” candidate   
   Linda McQuaig took 36 per cent of the vote — up from 30 per cent in   
   2011.   Mulcair also highlighted that NDP support held steady in the   
   Montreal riding of Bourassa, which also went to the Liberals.   
      
   “The only result that would have been better would have been to steal   
   one of those safe Liberal seats,” Mulcair said.
